Paperback. Etat : Good. 270 pages. Today Caviar is renowned as a gourmet delicacy, but few realise that it became a luxury food only in recent times. In CAVIAR, Inga Saffron tells, for the first time , the story of how the virgin eggs of the prehistoric-looking sturgeon were transformed from a humble peasant food into a czar's delicacy - and ultimately a coveted status symbol for a rising middle class. She explores how the glisteni ng black eggs became a culinary extravagance, while taking readers on a revealin g excursion into the murky world of caviar on the banks of the Volga River and C aspian Sea in Russia, the Elbe in Europe and the Hudson and Delaware Rivers in t he United States. Saffron describes the complex industry caviar has spawned, ill ustrating the unfortunate consequences of mass marketing such a rare commodity. The story of caviar has long been one of conflict, crisis, extravagant claims an d colourful characters, such as the Greek Sea Captain who first discovered the s ecret method of transporting the perishable delicacy to Europe, the canny German businessmen who encountered a wealth of untapped sturgeon in American waters, t he Russian Communists who created a sophisticated cartel to market caviar to an affluent Western clientelle, the dirt-poor poachers who eked out a living from s turgeon in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse and the criminal gangs that have risen in their wake; and the committed scientists who sacrificed their careers to keep caviar on the table. Filled with lore and intrigue, CAVIAR is a captivat ing work of culinary, natural and cultural history. N° de réf. du vendeur 2807y
